Professional Rugby League ( _ru. Профессиональная регбийная лига) is the premier rugby union competition in Russia. The Professional League was formed in 2005 and succeeds the Superleague. The Superleague, in turn, was active from 1992 to 2004 and succeeded the Soviet Championship.
In the 2007 season, RK South of Krasnodar were admitted to the competition, increasing the league's size to eight teams. For the 2008 league there will be 14 teams with these teams split into 3 conferences due to the distances involved in travelling. The average attendance at games in 2006 was 3285.
Each club plays each opponent twice; four points are awarded for a win, two for a draw, and one for a defeat. The top four clubs proceed to the play-offs (first introduced in 2006).
